Rachel McAdams was born on November 17, 1978, in Ontario. She showed interest in different artistic passions, such as acting and skating, from a very early age. One of the main things she highlights about her childhood is that her hobby, figure skating, gave her the necessary tools to be in tune with her body, a resource that would later be useful for her professional career.
She began acting when she was seven years old, she attended different summer camps to learn more about this, and also participated in and produced different plays. After high school, Rachel McAdams enrolled in a theater program at York University and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts.
Hollywood stardom came with the film The Hot Chick (2002), where she played a student who swaps bodies with a criminal. However, the roles that brought her international recognition were Mean Girls (2004) and The Notebook (2004).
Let's take a look at some of her most successful films:
